    restict image and file types in media section

    Hello,

    I remember in the older versions of umbraco you could set allowed image types in media section it used to be in umbracoSettings. In v7 how do you do this? As I do not see this anymore.

    Also for files to restrict file types how would you do this? Would you need to create your own property editor?

    Regards

    Ismail

    Hi Ismail,

    I'm using v7.6.2 and I found the upload control for media and content under Config\umbracoSettings.config. I used it to add SVG. Here's what you'll need to modify to add to or restrict what can be added to the media section:

    \Config\umbracoSettings.config:
       52  
       53      <!-- These file types will not be allowed to be uploaded via the upload control for media and content -->
       54:     <disallowedUploadFiles>ashx,aspx,ascx,config,cshtml,vbhtml,asmx,air,axd,swf,xml,xhtml,html,htm,svg,php,htaccess</disallowedUploadFiles>
       55  
    

    In regards to your question about whether or not you need a custom property editor ... that's a good question. The code above restricts the file type for the WHOLE platform ... how to restrict filetypes on a case-by-case use is a question for some more experienced developers here in the forum.
